Future ready: How can agencies invest wisely in public safety communications with so much change on the horizon? With constant change in today’s communication technologies, how do agencies maximize the value of investments in public safety communications? This presentation will focus on the three pillars of tomorrow’s communications solution: LMR, commercial cellular and public safety LTE.

Why Not Just LMR for Public Safety?

Expanding Group Communications • Was: Voice + Automatic Vehicle Location • Becoming: Voice + Video + Contextual Data + Situational

Awareness

What’s New • Integrated Voice Services across:

– Narrowband, Commercial Cellular, and Public Safety Broadband – Single talkgroup, common services, multiple modes

• Group Video Communications – Streaming real-time video services to collections of users

• Talkgroup -> Video-group

• Portable Based Situational Awareness – Moving from the Dispatch Center -> Vehicle -> Handheld

The Forecast for Tomorrow?

LMR Commercial Cellular

Public Safety LTE

Public Safety communications will rely on all three pillars

| 9 APCO 2014 – Session **** | 11/7/2014

• LMR provides nearly ubiquitous coverage across the US • Commercial Cellular cost effectively covers nearly the entire population

of the US • Public Safety LTE will provide capacity, priority and access controls for

emergency responses

Why Not a Single Solution?

LMR Commercial Cellular

Public Safety LTE

Public Safety communications will rely on all three pillars

| 10 APCO 2014 – Session **** | 11/7/2014

• Group Communication Services: – PTT Voice – Group Text Messaging – Situational Awareness – One-to-Many Video

• Broadcast Video, Push-to-Video, NG 9-1-1 video streaming

Bridging All Three Solutions

Public Safety LTE

Mission Critical Voice

Narrowband Data Mission Critical Broadband Data

Group Communication Services allow Network Convergence

| 11 APCO 2014 – Session **** | 11/7/2014

• Convergence will happen in three places: – Networks – Devices – Applications

• Converged Networks will support Group Communication Services • Converged Devices will support multiple technologies • Converged Applications will run on multiple platforms

Broadband PTT Communications

| 18 APCO 2014 – Session **** | 11/7/2014

• FirstNet-ready devices also support commercial cellular – Handhelds – Mobile Routers – Hardened LTE transceivers

• Supporting Android or PC-based applications – Group communications

• Voice • Video

– CAD/NG-911 data/dispatch clients • These devices can provide:

– Roaming between networks – Simultaneous operation on multiple

networks

Converged Devices

| 19 APCO 2014 – Session **** | 11/7/2014

• A single technology is unlikely to serve the diverse needs of all first responders

• Networks, devices, and applications must all support multiple technologies – Converged Networks will support Group Communication Services – Converged Devices will support multiple technologies – Converged Applications will run on multiple platforms
